ISO 5667-4: Sampling from Natural and Man-made Lakes

The ISO 5667-4 standard covers sampling techniques from natural or artificial lakes, and the necessary guidelines for the processing and preservation of water samples. It can be applied in the presence or absence of aquatic vegetation.

Aims of sampling;
- Determination of water quality
- Determination of long-term control objectives and indication of long-term trends
- Identifying sources of contamination
- Waste Determining the effect of discharges on water

Sampling from natural and artificial lakes should be at times where the quality and changes in quality can be followed with minimal effort, taking into account the change intervals of water quality.

The following conditions should be determined within the scope of Sampling from Natural and Artificial Lakes:
• Sampling purpose,
• Parameters to be analyzed for each sampling location,
• Sampling frequency and times,
• Type of sampling equipment and containers,
• Number and locations of sampling points,
• Sampling protection requirements,
• Access and safety considerations,
• Hydrodynamic, morphological and biological characteristics of sampling site(s),
• Sampling depth(s) and amount of water to be taken
